Los Angeles, CA (December 29, 2024) – An injury car crash occurred on Sunday evening at the intersection of E Olympic Blvd and S Lorena St in Los Angeles, resulting in one person being severely injured. The incident, reported by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), took place at approximately 8:40 p.m. when two cars collided at this high-traffic intersection.
According to the LAPD, initial details suggest that one of the cars involved in the crash fled the scene, heading southbound on S Lorena St. The police are investigating the case as a felony hit-and-run, with ongoing efforts to locate the suspect. Authorities have identified the cars involved and are gathering testimonies from witnesses to clarify the incident.
Upon arrival, authorities confirmed that one person sustained serious injuries. Ambulances were dispatched to the scene, and the injured individual was transported to a nearby hospital. The victim’s current condition is unknown. Firefighters assisted in extracting the vehicles, allowing the road to be cleared, though traffic was partially blocked for several hours. Authorities also managed traffic in the area to prevent further accidents during the investigation.
